You Sparked Something Good! 

On Thursday 21^st April Marks & Spencer staff and local community volunteers came to the Sedbergh Centre to spruce it up. And spruce it up they did! The back office was re-painted and outside areas were transformed which means more local people can enjoy our facilities. Thank you to everyone who came along on the day and worked really hard to make it a success.

Would you like to volunteer?

At the Sedbergh Centre we are always looking out for local people to get involved with our volunteering opportunities. We are especially interesed in recruiting helpers for our Youth Club on a Tuesday from 5.30 – 8.30 pm. We need people who can dedicate time and energy every week with activities such as sports, games and crafts and supervise the young clients. If you think you would like to join our team of volunteers then please call the centre on 01274 679843 and speak to Arnie or Liz. A DBS check will be required which we can arrange.

***Summer Fayre volunteers required for Saturday 16^th July – please call 01274 679843 if you can help!***

Evaluating our activities… During the next couple of weeks we will be asking you, our clients , to help us with a simple questionaire exercise. We are setting up some display boards in our reception area which will list many of the issues that our local community may face. There will also be a display board set up listing a number of activities and resources that could be put in place to help with these issues. When you visit the centre we may ask you to select 3 ‘issues’  that are important to you and 3 activities or resources that you would be interested in using. The results will be used so we can apply for funding to tackle these issues. Thank you for your help in advance :-) Hire the Sedbergh sensory experience The Sedbergh Centre sensory room is a safe and relaxing enviroment designed to benefit people of all ages and abilities.
